The Shoot2hunt Podcast

[Pistolpete28]

If nothing else , that was a very entertaining episode. I did not get much for educational value but it was good just for entertainment.

Well spoken dude, lots of things he said I don’t agree with. Seems like he was over complicating the shit out of putting a bullet in the vitals lol

Who here is having issues with suppressed rifle accuracy? If anything, I've seen an increase in accuracy when more closely matching the bore to caliber. This guy's set of rules was entertaining at least.

I have seen some issues.
Mostly with cold bore.
But the group was still under the “Rokslide” standard so most on here wouldn’t even call it an accuracy issue.
But the rifle was definitely different.

Haha
I like James’s podcast, mostly because he has a lot of characters on there & talks a lot about rural OR stuff.

But it seems seeing a lot of failures while guiding has rooted his beliefs in Fudd Land

I think he blames a lot of failures on a design and not the shooter & there over all setup.

Especially when he said he won’t guide anyone with Berger bullets.

That really makes me LOL

Human nature to blame failures on anything but the actual human failure.

Maybe I’m in the minority, but one of the things I really liked about this episode is that James presented a different viewpoint and shared concerns based on his own experiences. It feels like nobody else has had the balls to come on the podcast and openly disagree with these guys.

I like positive friction. When people with differing viewpoints can have a conversation and genuinely stay open to what the other side is saying, that friction should hopefully lead everyone closer to the best conclusion.

I will say, though, that I expected more pushback from Ryan and Jake. Maybe it was just an effort to avoid being confrontational with a guest, but I didn’t think they defended their point of view very well this time. It felt like there was still some worthwhile discussion left on the table about margin for error and how much geometric uncertainty you’re willing to tolerate when choosing between smaller and larger cartridges.

There are legitimate advantages to larger cartridges from a physics standpoint. They generally retain more momentum after bone impact, have a larger frontal diameter, offer better resistance to deflection, and penetrate more consistently. Larger systems tend to preserve terminal behavior better as conditions worsen. So as hunters, we have to decide how much of those geometric uncertainty advantages we’re willing to give up in exchange for a cartridge we can shoot better.

I’ve often wondered what everyone would shoot if recoil was completely eliminated as a factor. The small cartridges absolutely can penetrate and kill and have impressive wound channels and increase hit probability and have a high plethora of benefits, but if recoil was no longer a concern, wouldn’t most people shoot a larger cartridge to reduce geometric uncertainty?

The tree thing was hilarious. My interpretation was simply that this is someone who hunts in thick stuff where animals can sometimes be partially obscured by brush, leaves, or small branches, and he liked having the added safety margin of a larger cartridge if he ever had to take a shot under less-than-ideal conditions.

Be gentle, I bruise easily.

I thought you guys were exaggerating... Only halfway through this James Nash podcast, but.. time of bullet flight over .5 seconds is bad but he shoots through trees? Get outta here. I'll try to finish it but he seems out of touch with reality.

What kinds of groups are you guys getting after a complete pass through on a tree? How far past the tree should I set my target? Just want to make sure I don't wound anything, so obviously I'll be shooting a 7 prc.

The guys at the ranch have to have completely broadside shots through aortas but he's gonna take a guess at what's behind a tree?

That guy was brutal. He spews garbage thinking he sounds smart, when he actually is making himself look dumb.

I thought the guys that use llamas thing was hilarious!
